    Ladder ORAS Monotype Discussion

    The voting idea is a good one, yes it is an arbitrary time frame (although you would get usage stats from a fresh month and see the w/l tables), and I'm not aware that blaziken has ever been tested since gen 5. I was giving an example of a time frame, not the necessary one. Anyways more proof...

    If this really is a desired pokemon it should be unbanned and given a period of existence (1month ie January). If lots of trauma and grief enters the mono room because of it, ban it. If not, then we have a new addition to the mono world. Lots of programmers like to release a rough draft of...

    A while ago when greninja was banned I advocated for greninja to be unbanned on the condition that it could only use torrent. The fact of the matter is we could do that with a lot of uber pokemon by just banning a move, ability, or what have you (not worth all of the possibilities). If...

    Idk that preferred on flying is the right word on flying teams. For rocks maybe when you don't run skarmory or gliscor. In terms of practice, I very clearly remember landorus i being a huge staple on flying teams. Notable users being arifeen and argus. As of last year it was a premier ground...

    Ok. Those pokemon share an ability but are not the same. Besides my judgement saying sab has the best typing and defenses, it also has recovery (diancie and absol do not). Greninja has been banned because xyz (protean + good special + good speed), frogadier lacks a few in the xyz department...

    The only gripe I have about sableye (which has been mentioned quite a bit) is that, in general, if your stealth rocker cannot break through sableye-m, then you're not getting rocks until it dies. on the other hand, the owner of sableye is allowed to have hazards. Ghost and dark are both weak to...

    Ahem, shuckle rules the streets! To contribute to the conversation though, shuckle can encore gyara then either poison it, switch to a sub breaker / killer, or switch to cradily to force the mega evo to hit through storm drain. Edit: sniped

    Ladder ORAS Monotype Discussion

    Based purely on percentages, if you are willing to allow types to float at the bottom, you must allow some types to rise to the top (in some cases well above). It doesn't take a rocket scientist to look at the bottom 3 types then the top one and say hmm, is there a coincidence here? My only...

    240 speed may benefit you (its like 16 evs or something out of spDef). Outspeeding neutral base 70 is a speed tier a lot of pokemon like achieving, just as 263 rocks to outspeed breloom.

    As uncommon as stunfisk may be, rock support from him is really awesome against flying since common defoggers really don't like to take it on. If rocks get up and ampharos can pull of an agility, you pretty much win since zapdos is gone. As for steel, shuca berry aggron is pretty good at...

    I have been very inactive, but I have had this thought float in my head a few times. Does nani need a bit of help? I know the staff is willing to do anything if he just gives the command, but they cannot make executive decisions. Perhaps there needs to be another powerful fellow (my vote would...

    Same page man. No rush at all, make good decisions. If a good decision to ban lando-i occurred, I don't see why it can't be banned during monopl, thats all. Good chat imo.

    You may be surprised you restated what I said. We are on the exact same page, however I do not agree with: "When something needs to get done, I have no problem with them keeping the discussion amongst the higher-ups." When it comes to pokemon, I don't see a reason, including monopl, to halt or...
